I believe that yes it will fit but is not recommended. Alot of people have issues with belts braking when going to a 17% and a 19% pulley. Alta also recommends a smaller belt. THIS IS TAKEN RIGHT FROM THE ALTA WEBSITE

I know that chart says 060539 belt with 17%... but the 060535 belt seems to be a better fit for me, even on a 15% pulley... the 539 is right at the edge of being too long once it stretches a bit... the 535 fits nice and tight, with proper tensioner tension...

If you feel like driving for 45 minutes then head over to MINICORSA in north hollywood. If not, then Revolution Mini works is in Irvine. They could also give you a tune of you really want it . Also, search through the forum in southern california section. It has a list of shops in SOCAL.

Listen to Paul on the belt.

Sure the stock belt will fit, but it will slip if not on day 1, just wait a few miles, get the 060535. $20 is cheap insurance.
